Morgan DeBaun, the founder and CEO of Blavity Inc., recently published her first book titled "Rewrite Your Rules: The Journey to Success in Less Time with More Freedom". This highly anticipated book, released on April 1, takes readers on a personal journey through DeBaun's experiences as a serial entrepreneur and offers a practical framework for achieving fulfillment and success.
Through her book, DeBaun shares her three-part framework, "Master Yourself," "Master Your Method," and "Master Your Growth," which she believes are crucial for anyone looking to become a CEO and rewrite their own rules for success. As stated by Penguin Random House, "Rewrite Your Rules" is a call to action and provides readers with practical steps to design their own method and approach success on their own terms.
In an interview with HOT97, DeBaun explained that she wanted to make sure her message was easily understood by her readers. She stated, "This book walks you through exactly how to design your own method so that you can do it the way that you want." This book is not just a guide to success, but also a personal reflection of DeBaun's journey as an entrepreneur over the past decade.
DeBaun also shares the importance of having a supportive tribe who motivates and encourages you on your journey. She credits her tribe for playing a vital role in her ability to scale and achieve her goals. "I've acquired three companies in the last 10 years, built a business from my apartment in San Francisco, and had a dream with my co-founders for us to create a company that was helpful to Black people," she said.
As DeBaun wrote her book over the course of four years, she rediscovered her inner strength and determination as a 24-year-old. She was reminded of her fierce nature, even during times when she struggled with self-doubt as a founder and CEO. "With Rewrite Your Rules, I just wanted to show people how they can rewrite their rules for themselves," she explained. "I want to be a rule maker. I want to be the person who is saying, 'I know that you told me I have to do this this way, but I'm going to do it my way.'"
Since its launch in 2014, Blavity Inc. has become a global digital media company that amplifies Black culture and the voices of millennials through its premium content. Along with her co-founders Jonathan Jackson, Jeff Nelson, and Aaron Samuels, DeBaun has expanded the company's reach through the launch of AfroTech in 2016 and women's lifestyle platform 21Ninety in 2017. They have also acquired entertainment platform Shadow and Act and travel website Travel Noire. Additionally, Blavity Inc. will be hosting the Blavity House Party Music Festival in 2024 after taking over RnB House Party.
With the recent announcement of the star-studded lineup for AfroFuture 2025, it is evident that DeBaun and her team are continuously pushing boundaries and making their mark in the industry. "Rewrite Your Rules" is not just a book, but a testament to DeBaun's determination, grit, and success as an entrepreneur. It is a must-read for anyone looking to achieve their own version of success and break free from societal norms and expectations.
